Here are some of the groups you can ask your rug professional if they hold a membership in or if they have received training/certification from

BBB

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is an ethical marketplace where buyers and sellers can trust each other. Founded in 1912, today’s BBB consists of 106 independently incorporated local BBB organizations that provide a place where buyers can file a complaint or leave a review about a company’s services. Based on this data and other public information, the BBB assigns ratings from A+ (highest) to F (lowest) to local businesses in that area.

This is a good resource to check to see if your rug cleaning professional has received positive or negative reviews and how they have responded.
